  1. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    Jess RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome and best of luck with your classes! Let us know how it all works out!

  2. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    Jess RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the idea is that you take the no credit class to learn the content and then test out of the class by exam. Right?

  3. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    Jess RN replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be too much for me- but as others have said- you know yourself better than any of us do. I have a 9 mo old- and I would just warn you that once they start inching, rolling, crawling they...

  4. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you Gen! I have a really good feeling about this one for you! Fingers crossed for you (but you are most likely a shoo-in and don't even need it!!!)

  5. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wooooo hoooooo Seahorse!!! Congrats to you. What a tough decision. But it is nice to have the decision to make, no? What is your life like- do you have kids, husband, sig. other? What will your...

  6. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh {{{{{elizabells}}}}}! What a dork. I'm so sorry your ex boyfriend is being so lame. Mybe he will wise up or maybe it's for the best. In either event- eat lots of ben & jerry's and be kind...

  7. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Laura! It's great to hear from another BC student! I will be starting the Master's Entry program in the fall (I have a BA in literature, I'm not a nurse). I'm sure I'll see you around even if we...

  8. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so much Tanya! I think you are right- any and all ideas are good to entertain and explore at this point. I will definitely just stay on the track I am on now and see where it leads. Maybe I...

  9. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I think I may be losing it. I've been doing some reading on nurse anesthesia and am intrigued. It is tooootally different from my specialty (women's health- primary care) and not why I chose do...

  10. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awww! Thanks Gen! I'm trying not to be too perfectionist about this class. Especially since I'm taking it concurrent with Micro. B or B+ is just fine. I don't have to make all As. (repeat this...

  11. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cool! I will defintely let you know what I learn about the traditional Master's programs once I get there. A girl I know from church had her BSN and went to BC for her master's. She did her first...

  12. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel the same way! When I talk about my prereqs and program requirements to friends and family (even my husband!) I am sometimes met with dull stares. It really helped tremedously to have you all...

  13. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Courtney- Way to go- congrats on your acceptance!

  14. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh Gen I'm so sorry. You are so smart and qualified and will make such an awesome nurse. On to the backup plans (which look pretty darn good, if you ask me!). We're here for you.

  15. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Gen and Smile for your congrats! Gen- I have fingers and toes crossed for you as you wait for your letter from UIC. I sooo remember that wait- and it is excruciating! It will be over soon...

  16. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gen and Courtney- the letters could quite possibly be in the mail today!!! Yikes! Fingers crossed for both of you! I got some great unexpected news from BC today. When I got my acceptance letter...

  17. Anyone who took Micro or Chem at CCConline already?

    Jess RN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, CCC online is through a network of colorado schools. http://www.ccconline.org They offer lots of online classes- and science classes with labs- which can be hard to find.

  18. Anyone who took Micro or Chem at CCConline already?

    Jess RN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm taking Micro this summer through CCC online and I'd be interested in responses too!

  19. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard the same thing about the regulations on NPs in Illinois- it's definitely something to look into. A friend of mine's sister was an NP in California and moved to Chicago and was disgusted...

  20. Anyone taking Micro this summer thru CCC Online?

    Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks! That totally makes sense that the labs would be the hard part with kids around. For labs you don't want to have to stop in the middle of them so it would really be best to have the kids out...

  21. Anyone taking Micro this summer thru CCC Online?

    Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Really?!? Why do you say it's more time consuming? I thought cutting out the commute it would pretty much be a wash when compared to a traditional class. Is it just the labs that a re more time...

  22. Anyone taking Micro this summer thru CCC Online?

    Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think that's wise. The Direct Entry programs are pricey- but for me childcare for two kids works out to be *more* expensive than the tuition. :uhoh21: My husband is very pro- direct entry and I...

  23. Anyone taking Micro this summer thru CCC Online?

    Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I applied to MGH, BC and Regis and got into all three. I decided on BC because it is the shortest program. If there were any type of part time program I would totally go for that because my kids are...

  24. Anyone taking Micro this summer thru CCC Online?

    Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks Kelly for your response! When you guys say do the labs early and all together- do you mean start on them before they are assigned on the syllabus? Or aren't they on a schedule and you just...

  25. Anyone taking Micro this summer thru CCC Online?

    Jess RN replied to Jess RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow that's good to know about the instructor and the labs! I have little ones at home (ages 2 and 9mo) so it will be a challenge to get the labs done and protect my experiments and supplies from...
